The 18th album from this band from Norway.
The band was a trio with a lineup of percussion, drums, bass, guitars, organ, mellotron and vocals.
A handful of guests added saw, guitars, violin, viola, piano and mellotron.
You never know what you get when you open up a Motorpsycho album. The band knows how to surprise, and indeed, entertain the listener with their unpredictability.
This time around, we get almost an hour mix of garage rock, psych rock, power pop and space rock.
Yes, that is the normal Motorpsycho formula and sound. It is a sound and music that is unique to this band. It is their trademark.
There is a lot of noise here, mostly created by guitars and vocals.
The pieces of music here, the melodies, are very quirky. Ditto for the vocals.
Somehow, they are working and this chaos sometimes has some outbreaks of really good melodies and good pieces of music.
The result is a good album and an album well within the Motorpsycho tradition. This is an album you can start with if you have never heard anything from this band before. The music is not pretty, but it works.
